Evening of the Arts

Student Art Walk

Explore our hallways, transformed into a gallery of student artwork curated through the Art Masterpiece program. This volunteer-led program brings fine art into classrooms, allowing students to learn about master artists and experiment with different styles and mediums.

Tip: Have your child guide you through their displayed work and ask what inspired them or what techniques they learned.
